Mumbai: Students from Mumbai's Wilson College have adopted a railway station to do their bit for the national mission for cleanliness.
At the Charni Road Station in south Mumbai, students today put up posters, performed street plays and songs and gifted water purifiers and plants.
Around fifty students will clean the station's platforms once a week and beautify it with graffiti and art work.
"Our micro biology department will also check how pure the water being provided at the station is," Jesslyn Rodrigues, a student told NDTV.
The students say they want to take the Swachh Bharat Campaign beyond a photo opportunity.
"It has to start at the ground level, It's a station we use seven days a week; it is our responsibility to keep it clean and pleasant," said Aaron Dias, another student of the college.
Last week, students of Mithibai College adopted the Vile Parle station, another key hub of Mumbai's arterial suburban railway network, and pledged to keep it clean.
The Station Master of the Charni Road station told NDTV, "If the young generation is so aware, it's great for the country. I hope each college adopts a station. It'll be a huge step towards cleanliness."
Nearly three months ago, students of the college cleaned the Hanging Gardens. They plan to extend their campaign across the city.
